For 3.0, we have done two things to tackle this problem:
1. As I predicted in my previous comment, we've replaced the two-pane
department screen with a one-pane screen that ends with an "All {number}" link.
2. In some places, e.g. "Science & Engineering" > "Mathematics", we've hidden
non-application items by default with a "Show {number} technical items" link.
What I have not had time to do, though, is any further research on
adding more subsections to reduce the length of the "Accessories",
"Education", "Office", "Sound & Video", "System", or "Themes & Tweaks"
departments. If any usability lab, HCI class, or LoCo would like to help
out with Ubuntu, it would be great if they could take even one of these
departments and run a card-sorting exercise to work out what the
subsections should be.
